Everything You Need to Know About Magnet Shipping

Sea freight, air freight, express delivery, these several channels of magnet transportation have their own characteristics. Customers need to choose the best mode of transportation according to the actual situation of their goods. The most suitable transportation method is the best for you.

• Sea freight: long transport time, but very suitable for hundreds of kilograms to several tons of heavy goods
• Air transportation: short transportation time, optional airport pickup or door-to-door, suitable for 100-200 kg cargo and goods that need to be transported via pallets.
• Express: fast and more flexible, door to door, suitable for urgent transportation of goods under 100kg.

Magnets belong to heavy goods, through the sea transport can greatly reduce the cost of transport; and the freight cost of express and air freight looks expensive, but compared to the price of magnets, the express fee is not high.

Due to the potentially destructive nature of strong magnetic fields on the surrounding items, shipping magnets requires specialized anti-magnetic packaging and testing procedures.

Sea shipments are usually based on wooden pallets or cases. This kind of packaging is very thick and strong, and ordinary packaging for magnet is sufficient.

According to our export experience for many years, permanent magnets are usually shipped through LCL container. If shipping magnet through full container, only small containers (20 feet) can be used. Because magnets are heavy metal goods. If using a large container, it will be overweight.

Air shipments are usually shipped in cartons, and strong magnetic fields are more likely to affect the normal operation of the air craft. Therefore, the magnets need to be packed in carton with extra iron sheets for magnetic isolation. And after magnetic inspection, we can get a certificate of non-restrictive products from professional third-party testing company.

Our well-trained & qualified packers and the measuring equipment on hand can ensure that all packages with magnetic materials can get this certificate and make sure magnet transported by air carrier in time.

Although there will be additional packaging requirements for shipping magnets by air, we will not charge additional packaging/handling fees. You are only responsible for the cost of regulation testing and necessary paperwork.

To ensure magnets are in the best hands for production & delivery, International and domestic shipping questions can be answered by leaving a message in the form below or emailing us.

In early 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak suddenly slowed the world down: demand fell, production capacity decreased and air & ship routes reduced. Since the second half of 2020, demand for online consumer goods has continued to rise as the outbreak has changed the way people consume and online shopping in Europe and the US has exploded. At the same time, industrial demand, which had been suspended in the first quarter of 2020, also exploded at that time due to China’s rapid recovery from the epidemic.

Chinese factories resumed production capacity and manufactured more products than ever before, waiting to be shipped to Europe and the US. However, at this time, international routes failed to keep up in time, resulting in insufficient capacity and shortage of containers. The constant vicious cycle and surge in demand led to an increase in current routes and container prices, which ultimately led to higher freight rates.

With Europe and the US approaching the most important promotional season of the second half of the year, international logistics demand shows no sign of easing as things stand. Shipping prices will remain high and the vessel space will continue to be in short supply until at least the end of 2021.

This situation has been good for large companies, who have more flexible options to deal with the logistics crisis. Home Depot, for example, has contracted its own container ships in an attempt to avoid the global shipping crisis that threatens to disrupt holiday orders.

For millions of small businesses, the uncertainty of logistics is a more difficult problem to solve than the price increase of the product itself. The problem makes it necessary for them to arrange orders earlier or to ship some of their ocean shipments by air instead. And more shipments are being switched from ocean to air freight to their destinations, which has also exacerbated the rise in express and air freight rates.
